Customer question - pain relief patches and suitability!
I have problems with back pain; maybe even sciatica is the problem. What can I do, treatment options?
Pharmacist's answer:
If you have frequent and more severe problems with back pain, the first step is to see a doctor to find out what is causing all these unpleasant pains.
Suppose the problem is possibly caused by sciatica. In that case, the condition can be treated with drugs, pharmaceutical patches, exercise, physiotherapy, or acupuncture - these are usually mainly techniques that relieve the feeling of pain but do not eliminate the cause 100%, so surgery is often necessary.
Physiotherapy usually includes exercises to strengthen muscles and relieve unpleasant pains in the spine, limbs, and other painful areas. Physiotherapy of these areas can reduce pain and improve the mobility of a specific area.
Acupuncture is another technique that can also help reduce any pain and help you focus on treating a specific problem. Acupuncture is an ancient method of treatment based on the belief that so-called energy pathways connect many points of the body.
The therapy uses thin needles, aiming to eliminate pain and improve life. Acupuncture can treat many conditions, including back problems, headaches, insomnia, and arthritis.
In addition to the above techniques, it is essential to find ways to avoid pain, such as avoiding lifting heavy objects, standing for long periods, or sitting in one position.
